Myocardial fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance in myotonic muscular dystrophy type 1: highly prevalent but not associated with surface conduction abnormality

Abstract Background Conduction disease and arrhythmias represent a major cause of mortality in myotonic muscular dystrophy type 1 (MMD1). Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is the cornerstone of therapy to reduce cardiovascular mortality in MMD1. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) studies d...
